Taking Her On a Special Trip as a New Private Pilot

[@djramm6810]

So excited we kind of laid eyes on the little person, a reflection in Dad's Sun Glasses being held by mum and then a shadow after dinner on the way back to the aircar being held by dad.

[@ErikPukinskis]

What a joy to have Alyssa behind the camera and bringing us into the experience! Thank you!

[@Wordsnwood]

So do you have remote control on those two exterior cameras, to start and stop recording, or do you just put a honking huge memory card and let it record until it's full?

[@spochan4]

Glad you all had a safe and fun trip! Hope the longer flight goes just as smooth or smoother!

[@scarmenl]

I am pleased you are getting where you want to be. You have worked for many years to get there!

[@71Stuba]

thanks for the recent flying video guys... you inspired me Jesse, at 48 im now 18 hours into flight training. Travel, socialise with family, and learn new life skills, makes sense to me, Australia is a big place as well.

[@shannonhurley226]

LOVED the share about the 1 year overestimating / 5 year underestimating ... So true and so needed to be said. Thank you, I needed that!

Amazing beautiful video. Flying is the most wonderful thing in the world.

Nice work. I used to fly out to the islands on the west coast of Scotland; Mull for dinner was a particular favourite. This brings back memories. With that experience in mind, a suggestion: Consider whether you should WEAR those lifejackets for departure (if not for arrival), when heading out over the lake like that. An engine failure at 2-300' is going to put you in the drink before you have time to find them, much less put them on. I assume Little One's car seat will float.

[@angelreading5098]

You are doing it,living that dream now,full marks to you.

[@davethomson3834]

I don't comment very often but that was one quality video. Thank you so much for sharing the beauty of the landscape and your family.

[@sammantil6342]

You guys are so sweet. Thank you for sharing this very special video.

[@crystalwright1504]

Thanks for sharing your day!! I'm so glad that you are enjoying this new life. My husband is a pilot as were his parents. His dad was a commercial bush pilot for most of his life. My son had his first flight in a 182 at 3 weeks of age. It's amazing how easily little ones take to it. Oh, the memories.... Enjoy your new hobby!!!! The fly-in restaurant was a lovely touch.

[@garyarmstrong4597]

Choreography when you landing back at home strip was spot on. The magic of editing of videos to the sound of music. Well done 👍.

[@johngilbert9553]

Been with you since the beginning, we have very similar interests. So I salute your success . Great video angles on your plane.

[@jonconwell3884]

That was good , keep living the dream .

[@jadesy90]

I appreciate the effort you guys put into educating us in all aspects of building a life: the home, the food, the sustainable lifestyle that is clear cut and straight forward. You’ll probably hunt and eat game in the future and that won’t appeal to everyone. But you also love to garden and appreciate the wildlife surrounding you. You’re doing what you love, flying and you’re bringing us along for the ride. I just want to say thanks. No pressure in the family aspect, its your choice and as a fan, I fully support you guys! God bless you always! Much love.

[@Ebbyman413]

To answer the question of 'how those thin propellers keep that thing in the sky' - Helicopters don't really "fly" as much as beat the air into submission.

[@TomTom-by5sx]

Life is a journey not a destination. Travelers are we all, enjoy the scenery. Remember, there is a moment in every picture.

[@samholt5591]

A long time watcher and early subscriber, you guys are incredible. It's good to take a break.

[@benjaminmellingen5340]

ohhhh that 120fps footage looked amazing! More of that in the future please :)

[@One_Crazy_Dog_Mum]

Yay for family outing. How did bubba like dads flying skills?

[@mtnstream1]

Love the tail cam showing landing and take off. You set that down so perfectly. When do we get to see the little? Why are you hiding her... I think "her". Love the aviation vids.

[@PatrickPoet]

Really, people don't need a reason not to put their children on KZbin. A lot of people do, a lot of people don't, both are fine. I understand that people that love them would be interested, but it's their choice to make and our choice to respect. (I cut and paste this from above.)

[@mtnstream1]

Totally agree with you I just asked why n when.

[@creekboy2893]

Nice flight! I wish we had places like that here in Alabama to fly to. I hope people who watch this that always wanted to fly will go take 1 lesson to see the fun it can be.

[@Will7981]

That was some beautiful footage. I almost felt as if I was in the plane too.

[@bobbailey4954]

Fun video a suggestion your seat belts should always be on and snug. First time you encounter a clear air pocket of dead air. You will be glad your seat belt was snug. Happy and safe flying.

[@knitvids]

Fun family times! Thanks for sharing.

[@RVthereyetmemaw]

how do you protect the babbys ears from all the noise during flight?

[@seymourpro6097]

Grass strips lead to big tyres -when do you fit the 31"

How awesome is that! I enjoyed this video!

Ya Jesse it is nice to get away with the family once in awhile...nice vidclip and scenery :-)

[@slcole64]

You guys are amazing I love ❤️ watching your videos

[@adubbelde1]

That helicopter at your first stop landed at KCUT which is 3/4 mile from our house last year. I spoke with the crew as they were refueling.

[@ronbattiston2468]

What an excellent video! I almost felt like I was in your plane with you! And I don't even have a pilot's license. Thanks Alyssa and Jesse!

[@matthewgroff433]

I like the "House Keeping" upon landing! lol Code Words for Diaper Change! LMAO Great Camera angles!

[@Rspri10104]

Great family trip/Date. Thanks for sharing.

[@charlescompton4495]

Well, I had followed you through the build but got side tracked somehow. I missed the family addition but hope all is well. I was in construction and saw many a building completed and know the excitement from footers to finish. I was a bricklayer and the last big house we bricked the people moved in before we were finished...sound familiar? Try to be content but ready to change as time goes on. May God bless you and future additions (if that's the plan), Greg.

Sullivan Lake is one of our favorite camping spots. We've watched airplanes take-off and land many times from there.

[@00HiGhGuY00]

To answer Jesse's question. I'd definitely rather land at a busy towered airport with tarmac everywhere.

[@jamespitts8679]

Can not understand u 2, your show is about doing as a family build. BUT, not as family. We were with you all the way, then to pull the most special thing in your lives an not let us in joy this with u. It's like showing a kid a big bag of candy, an saying YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY.....! !

[@ffsnefing]

we are not worthy

[@bothellkenmore]

I respect that they don't feature the new addition in their videos. It's not for us.

[@offgridsweden]

Awesome flying video. Have an amazing Sunday, Andreas 🇸🇪

[@afrock1000]

A great day and special that you can do it in a light aircraft into the grass strip for dinner with the family. Not many countries in the world where you can do that. Constructive flying food for thought: notice that you are in the roll out with the flaps up. Somewhere someone must have said that this puts more weight on the wheels for braking. Landing flaps are drag, not lift devices. Refrain from such switch flipping (flap handle) during a critical phase of flight. As well, an unattended airplane for any length of time, especially a light aircraft, needs to be chocked. With no ramp handler you remove the chocks as the last thing before climbing in. Trust in the parking brake falls into an unnecessary risk category. All the best and fair winds.

[@PatrickPoet]

That big helicopter looks like it would blow your plane over if it landed that close to your parked plane! Your discussion of being happy wherever you are was very Buddhist. They teach that you find joy in the moment and that none of the things we chase for happiness bring happiness. Looking into the future for happiness can make you miss real happiness now. See, that's just like what you said! lol! p.s. love you guys I wonder if pontoon planes fly in there

[@NelloCambelli]

Like the paper charts as back up. Now time to get your IFR ticket punched.. Having the rollout camera is exceptional for post flight review. Mishandling cross winds near the ground on landing and rollout can become exhilarating. Hellicopters spin their wings rather than propeller for it is the angle of the spinging wings attack angle that generates lift and forward movement.

[@jeffmeans894]

I’ve been following y’all on KZbin for a couple years now and will say that I enjoy yalls more than any others that I follow. I’m 60 yrs old and get excited when I see a post there for y’all!! Guess this is what they call getting old!! Lol. Thank y’all for what you do and look forward to the day when we get to meet the little one!!! Living the life!! God Bless

My favorite video in a long time! Just a warm fuzzy, I don't care what anyone says!

[@cterrier]

Why nothing on California which I thought was your original destination? Did I miss them?

[@johnhpalmer6098]

If you'd watched the entire video, this was a pre-flight, a date night in essence, to get the rust off as Jessie said in the video. That video where they head to California is to come still.

[@genesnyder2985]

Yes you missed something

[@TomLongusa]

Yep, today’s video is about the practice flights they’re doing to get any potential kinks worked out with the new 3rd member of the family. The more recent practice he gets before a big trip, the better

[@joshsaviationadventures]

When are we gonna meet Jesse Jr.

[@neilizer]

Im personally not bothered about a big introduction of the baby....I just think its a bit odd that they completely make sure it is never in a shot.

How do we even know if it's a Jesse Jr.?? Perhaps it's a mini Alyssa??

[@joshsaviationadventures]

Could be but when they announced it they had boys clothes if I remember right
